She says that without a quorum, the board is unable to vote on extending insurance coverage or paying bills that are past due.

Those trustees told ABC7 they were unable to attend, and that Henyard scheduled the meeting without their agreement, accusing her of playing "political games."

On Monday, Henyard called for their resignations.
